["In a large microwave-safe bowl mix together the besan flour, the asafoetida, and the turmeric.", "Add in salt to taste. I usually add in about 1 tsp. When the batter is mixed check it and see if you need more.", "Stir in 1 cup of yogurt. Mix everything together well. The one thing you want to avoid in making this batter is lumps. Try to get it as smooth as possible.", "When the yogurt is thoroughly incorporated, add in 1 cup of water. Blend everything together well.", "When the batter is nice and smooth, pop it into your microwave for 1 and 1/2 minutes.", "When it's done, take it out and mix it together well, smoothing out any lumpy parts. Make sure you scrape the sides of the bowl. The batter is cooking and you want it to be smooth so that it can cook evenly. Raw garbanzo flour can have a bitter aftertaste so it's important that it 's cooked through. After you've smoothed the batter again, put it back into the microwave for another 1 and 1/2 minutes.", "While the batter is cooking in the microwave, spread a couple of long pieces of tin foil out on a counter or work surface. Set them aside.", "Take the batter out again and give it another smoothing beating. You can use a mixer if you need to.", "Pop it back in the microwave for another 1 and 1/2 minutes.

Let the batter set for 5 minutes.", "Once your batter has dried, take a knife and trim off the ragged tops and sides.This will make them even and easier to cut and roll.", "Cut long strips down the length of the batter on the foil.", "Keep rolling......until you have a nice khandvi. When you feel it's the right bite size, cut it and place it on a serving plate. Keep doing this until all the batter has been cut and rolled.", "When all the khandvi have been rolled, arrange them nicely on a serving plate.

Sprinkle them with the grated coconut.", "And then add on the chopped fresh cilantro.", "In a small skillet heat 1 Tbs of vegetable or coconut oil.

And serve it up."]
